Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is funding in this budget for midwifery, obviously. We have a territorial manager that was hired in March of 2020 and is currently engaged in design work to help build the vision for the territorial program, lay the foundation for the midwifery teams to come, and we do have recruitment ongoing for a midwifery position in Yellowknife. Job evaluation is currently ongoing, but we expect that will be out soon. This is money that would have been in prior year allocations. What we are doing is, with the benefit of those resources, we will engage in a bit more planning over this year, which is a wise thing to do when you have new resources and the evolution of primary healthcare the way it has been. We are going to have an opportunity to revisit our business case, and we expect to have this work completed by May of this year.
